Preparations underway!

I would say that I am sort of halfway packed at the moment. I am having trouble minimizing my load while bringing sufficient supplies. I still think that I am going to try to squeeze everything for the full two months into a backpack so that I don't have to worry about dragging around a giant suitcase every time I change locations. Thanks to Summit Hut I have some travel underwear and some laundry soap tabs, so that ought to help quite a bit. I hope that no one is expecting souvenirs, because I have no idea where I will put them! :)
